For centuries critics have tried to undermine the Bible so as to weaken its authority and cause people to doubt its accuracy. They have denied that writing was invented by the time Moses was supposed to have written the first five books. They denied that Abraham's native city of Ur existed. They denied the existence of people who were called Horites and Hittites. They denied that the nation of Israel was ever in Egypt and that the walls of Jericho crumbled as the Bible states. They have denied much of the Bible's chronology and have reduced the flood to nothing more than a paddle boat ride. But one by one the objections fell as archaeology uncovered evidence to confirm the historical accuracy of the Bible.
There are no records or accounts of ancient history that can compare to the exactness of the Bible. God gives the evidence to prove everything He asks us to believe. Because you have not discovered it doesn't mean the evidence is not there for you to know. Most of us would rather take someone's word than to search for our self. The tendency to do that is why so many people accept false teaching.
